OR Today Webinar | January 15

If 2025 taught surgical services teams anything, it’s this: predictability is priceless.
As hospitals head into 2026, perioperative leaders are being asked to do more with less—while keeping first cases on time, maintaining throughput, and managing the hidden costs of delays and equipment downtime. And one of the most common (and expensive) disruptors? Equipment that isn’t ready when the day begins—or fails when it’s needed most.
That’s why our upcoming OR Today webinar is designed as a practical New Year reset for OR and SPD teams: a “success plan” focused on equipment readiness, workflow reliability, and scope uptime, PLUS proven strategies you can take back to your facility.
This webinar walks through three high-impact “resolutions” that help teams reduce downtime, control repair spend, and improve daily case flow:
Delays don’t just come from staffing or scheduling. Often, the root cause is simpler—and more preventable: missing items, tray readiness issues, equipment that isn’t available or ready, turnover variability, and communication breakdowns.
We’ll discuss what a predictable OR day looks like, how equipment readiness affects first-case on-times (FCOTs), and quick-win behaviors teams can implement right away—without a major overhaul.
The facilities with the smoothest surgical days don’t rely on heroics. They rely on systems.
We’ll share what we see working across hospitals nationwide: defining readiness as the right equipment, in the right condition, in the right place, at the right time—then supporting that standard with clear checks, accountability, and reliable OR/SPD communication.
Data can be overwhelming—unless you use it to answer the right questions.
We’ll show how teams can use equipment intelligence (including endoscope tracking and meaningful KPI selection) to identify patterns like:
What equipment is used most
The most common repair types
Where repeat failures occur (scope type, service line, handling step)
How trend-based training can reduce preventable damage
Scopes are a high-impact example of how downtime and repair spend quickly add up—especially when damage escalates into level 3–4 repairs. Our partner Renovo/FiberTech will be featured throughout the session to share expert insight into:
Common drivers of major scope failures
Preventable damage patterns teams can address upstream
Smart repair planning to reduce downtime when issues occur
This session is designed for anyone who influences readiness, case flow, and equipment reliability, including:
Perioperative nurses and OR leaders
SPD leaders and educators
Endoscopy support teams
Quality, operations, and surgical services leadership
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
Identify practical Q1 readiness strategies to reduce delays and improve surgical day predictability in 2026
Recognize key drivers of preventable downtime and apply mitigation tactics
Understand how major repairs (including level 3–4 scope repairs) impact operations through downtime, disruption, and hidden costs
Describe how KPI tracking and repair partnership planning support cost avoidance and faster recovery
Apply a simple “red flag” checklist to spot where their facility may be losing hours each day
